#clones feels

[captaingondolin]

you know, if I were truly evil, I could write a fic about, say, Kix and Jesse becoming friends as cadets and then, boom!, kill off Jesse. and tell you the one we see in the series is a different Jesse. with the number of clones there must have been duplicate names (also I read a fic with Longshot Jr and it made me think about hearing your dead vod name again)

so i finished the Ahsoka novel a billion years ago, here’s a last dump of feelings about it, in a very haphazard order:

We're already mentioning master Plo because a mum who always put others’ needs in front of her own reminds Ahsoka of him. I cry

That adorable thing about brushing her montrals (am I thinking about the “brushie brushie” meme with the bat? for absolutely no reason? yes) 

"The other kind of family is the one you find." Ahsoka though how the clones, even those who had never met defaulted to calling each other brother. She had though it was because of their genetics and military connection, but maybe it was something else. (ALL THE CLONES FEELS)

Ahsoka never did well when she was bored (my precious adhd child raised by the mostest adhd master)

Aww, Ahsoka thinking of whose advice she'd like to follow and thinking about Padmé. I know, bb, she was the only responsible adult in your life - barely (that post about the pt trio being all equally dumbasses except Obi and Padmé are better at hiding it? absolute truth)

I’m sorry but the Obi-Wan POVs are HURTING ME. "He had gone to Shmi Skywalker's grave to apologise for losing her son" & "it was all that was left of the man who had been, often simultaneously, Obi-Wan's greatest annoyance, his brother and his closest friend" how fucking DARE YOU im cry

also Bail POV made me cry bc how he worries abt everyone and wants to save the galaxy and how much he wants to protect precious tiny baby Leia

The droid was trustworthy and capable of defending himself. Bail would just have to make sure not to leave the droid [Artoo] alone with his daughter in case either of them got any ideas. LOL. Leia and Artoo being reckless? Preposterous! (i know it no longer counts as foreshadowing since ANH has been out for 40 years, but it still made me cackle)

also artoo is the most competent character in this entire franchise, i'd vote him for chancellor

Obi-Wan thinking of all the people he's lost and he thinks of Cody right after Anakin t.t

I'm SCREAMING the new clone wars trailer has ENDED ME "we clones have mixed feelings about the war. We wouldn't exist without it" are you going to really live up to your title and give me clones pov this time?? Please!! Also Padmé's dress, angery Anakin, literally everything about Ahsoka, Mandalore feels..... I need to lie down

Title: The Cost of War Written by: @notquiteaghost Read by: @reena-jenkins Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi Characters: CC-2224 | Cody, Obi-Wan Kenobi Additional Tags: Podfic, Hurt/Comfort, kinda sorta ish, sometimes instead of actually going to therapy, you just have a lot of very heavy conversations with your husband, and you know what thats valid, #ITPE 2019

Summary:

a true patriot knows the cost of war. pays for it himself.

Every new batch of shinies gets younger, somehow.

Not— Well, yes, actually younger. They’re sending them out at eight now, like that’s anything but insane. (Like sending them out at ten wasn’t insane, never mind how convinced the Kaminoans are of the success of their training, never mind how the casualty rates of shinies are disproportionately high because dammit but Rex is right and nothing ever beats out actual experience—)

But younger somehow else, too. Around the eyes, the set of their jaw, how they still suppress the smallest flinch at sudden noises. Cody looks at them and thinks of Domino squad, of Tano, of every civvie kid scrambling to cover from aerial strikes or running through market stalls laughing or sending the 212th earnest, excited holo messages he’s sure Obi-Wan isn’t actually supposed to show them.

“they shouldn’t salute me since i left the order”

“it doesn’t matter to them”

“they know what you went through for them”

THE HELMETS

“GLAD YO HAVE YOU BACK, COMMANDER”

WHO’S CRYING???  ASHLEY

BUT ALSO ME

[captaingondolin]

I know I've screamed about it before, but Padmé comforting this guy while dying herself is one of my favourite Padmé moments ever.

And her exchange with Rex breaks my heart. When she says "What a waste" and Rex goes "it's what these men were born to do" I just... PAIN.

@stellecraft shared this and I feel the need to make you all suffer with me

i don’t know what it is about Flares, but this song gave me the best, most heartbreaking sw vids:

Clone Wars

Luke (on “did it hurt so much you thought it was the end” i cry so much it physically hurts my face every single time) 

Luke & Anakin
